Buckeye Ultra 200 Mile Road Race
The Buckeye 200 is an approximately 203 mile out and back road run that starts at Walnut Beach on Lake Erie in Ashtabula, Ohio and reaches Wellsville near the Ohio-West Virginia border. The course follows largely the same route used in past years, with the vast majority of miles on Ohio Route 45. Total climb is just under 6,000 feet, and the route includes long flat segments plus about 70 miles of rolling hills.
The event is run on open roads with no official aid stations. Crews are encouraged in sections with limited overnight resources but are not required; many runners have completed the route self supported. Runners who cannot finish are responsible for self extraction and may experience delays if they need transportation back to their vehicle. Stores, diners, and shops are commonly available along the course during daytime and evening hours. Several towns on the route have hotels within walking distance of the course, including Austinburg, Warren, Salem, and Lisbon.
Finishers receive a large Buckeye 200 buckle and additional finisher awards. A six day time limit applies to the full distance, requiring an average of about 34 miles per day. A 100 mile option is offered and finishes at Walnut Beach with a 48 hour cutoff; participants in that option must provide their own transportation to the start. There are no refunds, deferrals, or transfers.
